New Mexico Is the First State to Ban Armed
Federal Agents from Voting Locations

Original Article

Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 3/16/2026 1:38:56 PM

The movement to put federal agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies at polling places is having the effect of flushing out into the open those from the left who want to protect shady election systems. The one-party state of New Mexico, with Democrat majorities in the House and Senate and a Democrat governor, was the first to pass legislation and have it signed into law that bans military or armed federal agents from polling places and ballot drop box locations. One of the lesser known woke governors in the country, and one of the more extreme ones, Michelle Lujan Grisham, signed into law SB 264,

Bless their little hearts. The IS Supremacy clause overrides state law, so this law is null and void from day one. I wonder what the state government makeup will be when illegals aren't voting and aren't in the state. And NM will lose some congressional seats as well as electoral college votes.

The Democrats are not hiding the fact that they want illegals to vote. If an illegal showed up at a polling place why would he/she be there?except to vote illegally. New Mexico is outing itself. They want and intend to allow cheating in their state. Not sure they can get away with this and if i were Trump I would make certain that ICE agents appeared at every polling place and double dog dare the State to try to do something about it.

This is all for show. The Constitution also says the federal government controls federal elections. There is a federal election every two years since federal offices are on the ballot. This act is obviously unconstitutional. Since statehood, New Mexico has always been a strong state for Democrats. At times Republicans have been competitive. The New Mexico Marxists, of course, want to make sure that never happens again.

To play that game, follow the gov's rules. At least 50 feet......ICE/etc should mark a 50 line from the doors several days before the election. ICE/etc can stand at that line to watch voters. At some time, the voters must cross over the 50 foot line to approach or leave the voting place. The dem poll watchers will have a show-stopping meltdown.

Many Americans fear U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran could spark another refugee crisis, but experts say the Trump administration has policies in place designed to prevent that outcome — even if officials have not clearly communicated the strategy. Researchers with the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) told the Daily Caller that Trump’s war plans, Middle East travel restrictions and the refugee system’s current structure suggest the administration is not preparing to admit refugees at scale and instead expects Iranian migrants in the United States to return home. “I think it’s safe to say there’s no plan for a wave of new Middle Eastern refugees to the United States of America,”

The Department of Justice charged a Virginia man Friday for allegedly selling a stolen firearm to the ISIS-inspired Old Dominion University shooter after authorities previously caught him illegally purchasing firearms during the Biden administration but declined to prosecute. Authorities say 36-year-old Mohamed Jalloh walked into a classroom at the Virginia campus, asked if it was an ROTC class, and then began shooting, killing an instructor and injuring two students. Federal prosecutors charged 32-year-old Kenya Chapman with dealing in firearms without a license in connection with the March 12 shooting and with three counts of making false statements during firearm purchases, according to a Justice Department press release.

Last year, while the media was busy crying over Trump’s America First immigration policies, his admin was quietly making a really clever structural change to the way immigration courts operate… and oddly enough, nobody’s really talking about this. Instead of sitting around pontificating and debating policy until the cows come home, President Trump made a move to change the entire system… and a year later, we can see that it’s working. But last year the left absolutely flipped out. Reports started circulating that the Trump administration planned to deploy hundreds of military lawyers, known as JAG officers, to serve as immigration judges through the Department of Justice. Left-wingers instantly began warning

The Trump EPA is moving to rescind Biden-era regulations that cracked down on the health industry’s use of ethylene oxide, a colorless gas used to sterilize 95 percent of all surgical kits and 50 percent of all medical devices used in the United States, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. The agency will issue a proposal on Friday to restore more-attainable restrictions on ethylene oxide that had been in place for decades. If finalized, it would scrap rules the Biden EPA issued in 2024 that forced the nation’s nearly 100 highly specialized medical sterilization facilities to slash ethylene oxide emissions by more than 90 percent—something that would have required them

“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.” Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.

He reaffirmed that position after one French soldier was killed Thursday in a drone attack in Iraq. “We are not at war with anyone,” Macron said.

The ceremony Sunday, which also saw Michael B.

The rumor that's circulating in Middle Eastern political networks claims that Iranian cleric Hojtaba Khamenei may be in poor condition while he struggles to command respect among key figures inside the regime. Mojtaba Khamenei remains widely viewed as the center of Iran's leadership after the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who served as Iranian supreme leader for over 30 years and whose death created a sudden leadership vacuum. Iranian state media later confirmed the killing and declared a 40-day national mourning period as the regime moved quickly to maintain control and reassure supporters that the government remained intact. The Iranian supreme leader has held ultimate authority over Iran's military forces,

oday, most of those self-identifying as LGBTQ are young women. The growth has been dramatic. In the US, some thirty percent of Gen Z women (age 18-27) are self-identifying as LGBTQ, etc.—mainly lesbian and—compared to around 1-2% for women in the World War 2 generation. This means that almost a third of traditionally marital-age women are likely disinterested in traditional marriage. This is a significant factor in why almost half of Americans are unmarried. As a result of the decline in marriages, the American replacement rate continues its slide south of the 2.1 children per couple needed for replacement. It is now hovering at 1.6.
